NBA: James wants to team up with me

Wang Chong's position in this round was obviously different from before. As soon as he came to the frontcourt, he took a position outside the three-point line in the right corner, looking like a salted fish hanging up to watch the excitement.

But even so, the Lakers did not dare to neglect at all. Artest followed Wang Chong closely, and Odom was not far away, waiting for opportunities at any time. Once Wang Chong made a move or wanted to get the ball, If the situation arises, he will immediately step forward to double-team Wang Chong with Artest.

Curry held the ball to a 45-degree position on the left side of the three-point line. He did not rush to attack, but quietly waited for the attack time. Soon, there were only 24 seconds left in the 10-second attack time.

The Bulls finally started to take action.

Wang Chong in the bottom corner suddenly started to take action, sliding down the baseline and accelerating to the basket, and then ran straight from the basket towards the top arc of the three-point line.

Artest and Odom followed Wang Chong closely, almost never leaving.

Regardless of what medicine Wang Chong sells in his gourd, their goal is very clear, which is to target Wang Chong and not give him any chance.

But when Wang Chong ran across the free throw line, Gasol and Danny Green, who were standing in the corner areas on both sides, moved towards the free throw line at the same time.

When Wang Chong passed the free throw line, the two closed the door directly, blocking Artest and Odom from behind.

On the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson suddenly stood up from his seat.

"What?!!!"

At this time, Wang Chong had already run outside the three-point line. Curry's pass arrived immediately. Wang Chong, who received the ball, turned around and took off to shoot without pausing.

It was too late for the players on the Lakers' side to make up the defense.

Wang Chong, who was completely open, easily hit a three-point shot.

The elevator door tactic is a super pick-and-roll tactic that will completely increase the intensity of the Warriors' outside shooting in the future. It uses two people to cover the pick-and-roll and close the door, which is basically impossible to defend.

During Curry's two consecutive MVP years, the elevator door tactic was the Warriors' most powerful scoring weapon, and its importance was no less important than the Warriors' other major weapon - the five-point death squad.

This tactic itself has problems. On the one hand, this tactic requires at least two players with outstanding outside three-point ability. One is responsible for attracting the attention of the opponent's defense, and the other is responsible for shooting without the ball. On the other hand, the elevator The door pick-and-roll method itself is suspected of moving the pick-and-roll. The player responsible for covering must grasp the timing of the pick-and-roll very well, otherwise it is easy to be called a screen foul.

Since the Bulls acquired Curry, the Bulls have had the opportunity to implement this elevator door tactic.

However, Wang Chong did not use this tactic during the regular season, or even in the first few rounds of the playoffs, because the elevator door tactic itself was controversial and might cause unnecessary trouble.

But now, the game has reached a critical moment in the battle of Tianwang Mountain in the finals, and it is also about whether he can break the single-game scoring record in the finals. It is also time to reveal his trump card!

Seeing the three-pointer hit, the referee hesitated a little.

Just now, Gasol and Green were closing the screen for a pick-and-roll. The referee felt that the pick-and-roll was slightly moved. However, the scene was a bit chaotic at that time, and even the referee could not see it clearly. Replays are needed to determine whether the pick-and-roll was actually moved.

But in the league at this time, the frequency of video replays is significantly less than ten years later. In order to ensure the smoothness and enjoyment of the game, it is more important to keep the game going as much as possible.

Just now, Wang Chong used the pick-and-roll of his teammates to get rid of the Lakers' double-team in one go. It was very entertaining. Of course, it would be best if the whistle was not blown. Now it is the Bulls' home game, so it is not too much to enjoy some home whistle advantage.

The elevator door tactic actually existed as early as the 80s, but the importance of the three-point shot in the NBA and the three-point ability of players at that time were completely incomparable to today. Therefore, the effect and power of this tactic were not obvious, and it soon became Was eliminated.

Now, Wang Chong has advanced the elevator door tactic by five or six years, and the effect can be imagined.

In the next few rounds, Wang Chong continued to follow the same pattern, firing continuously from outside the three-point line.

The Lakers, who had just seen the elevator door tactic, were completely unable to deal with it. Isn't this a scam? How to prevent it?
Watching Wang Chong continue to score, the point difference that was finally close was widened again. The Lakers could only call for a timeout to adjust, but even the wily Phil Jackson had never seen this tactic from the Bulls before. In this case, I couldn’t think of a way to solve it for a while.

After the timeout, he took the initiative to go to the referee and complained to the referee.

"There were several times where the opponent's screen obviously moved the pick-and-roll, and I think it needs to be focused on."

The referee agreed with his mouth, but disagreed in his heart.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the two teams were 12 points apart. The Lakers could no longer win this game. The only suspense was whether Wang Chong could break Elgin Baylor's single-game Finals record of 61 points.

The Lakers certainly don't want Wang Chong to break the record and turn them into a gorgeous background.

But the league is obviously happy to see this happen. Records are meant to be broken. The single-game scoring record in the finals has been maintained for nearly fifty years. If Wang Chong can break this record in this game, it will definitely be Sparking some buzz in the NBA is also a good thing for the promotion and development of the league.

The referees, who had already received tacit approval from league president Stern, had long been prepared to turn a blind eye and were naturally indifferent to Phil Jackson's protests.

On the field, Wang Chong has already made his third three-pointer in the fourth quarter, and his score has reached 11 points, only 4 points away from breaking the single-game scoring record in the finals.

The Lakers tried their best to prevent Wang Chong from continuing to score, but it was useless under Wang Chong's sudden trump card tactics.

In the process of stopping Wang Chong, Artest received his sixth foul of the game and was sent off directly after the number of fouls was reached.

Wang Chong went to the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws, bringing his score to 60 points! He officially became the second player in the league to score 60 points in the Finals, and there are still nearly 4 minutes left before the end of the game.

With 2 minutes and 26 seconds left in the game, Wang Chong fired again from beyond the three-point line and scored his 63rd point, officially surpassing Elgin Baylor and taking the exclusive first place in history!

There was still time left in the game, but Wang Chong did not continue to play and was replaced after a dead ball.

At this time, the game had already lost its suspense. The score difference was close to 15 points. No matter how hard they struggled in the remaining game time, it was absolutely impossible for the Lakers to catch up.

In fact, with Wang Chong's departure, the Lakers also replaced all the main players.

Kobe was sitting on the bench, looking very ugly.

In today's game, he had a very good touch. He finished the game with 40 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and his shooting percentage was close to 48%. It was his best performance in the finals.

But the scariest thing about everything is comparison.

No matter how well Kobe plays, he will only look bleak when compared with Wang Chong, who scored 63 points in the game. He once again lost to Wang Chong in a crucial match, and he lost completely.

121:106, with Wang Chong's 63 points in a single game, the Bulls successfully won the battle of Tianwang Mountain with a big score of 3:2, taking the lead in winning the match point and occupying a huge advantage.

But compared to the Bulls winning the match point, Wang Chong's 63 points in a single game were obviously more popular than breaking the NBA record that had been dusty for nearly years.

You must know that in the eyes of many people, this record is no less difficult than Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game in the regular season. After all, in the regular season, there is a lot of garbage time against weak teams. As long as the stars are willing to show dignity and add more If you have enough physical strength and deliberately score points, you have a chance to score 70+, 80+ or ​​even 100+.

But the finals are different. No team will fail in the finals. The teams that can reach the finals are without exception the strongest teams in the league. Not to mention giving you a chance to score points, they are eager to defend you. You won't get a single point in the game.

The two are simply worlds apart in terms of scoring difficulty.

Wang Chongneng scored 63 points in the finals. It is completely unimaginable how strong his scoring ability has become.

"It is said that Wang Chong's three championships, the first one was due to O'Neal and Kobe, the second and the third one was due to Billups and Garnett. Compared with those top superstars who can win the championship independently, there are still gap."

"But in this finals, when the team lacked Garnett, Wang Chong completely proved himself and proved to the entire league that the Bulls can win two consecutive championships and challenge for three consecutive championships. It does not rely on luxury. His lineup and strong teammates are his, Wang Chong!”

"The Lakers lost the Battle of Tianwangshan, and the morale hit was far greater than the loss. Even if they return to home in the next game, they can regain their strength and chase the score to a 3:3 tie, but in the tiebreaker In a big battle, it will be difficult for the Bulls to win with Garnett back and a complete lineup.”

“It’s almost certain that the Bulls will win three consecutive championships and create a new dynasty!”

Garnett, who had already prepared for the worst and planned to come back early if the Bulls lost the battle at Tianwangshan, could now sit high on the Diaoyutai and wait for the two teams to finish the G6 game of the finals and stage the tiebreaker. King's return.

But what he didn't expect was that the team didn't even give him this opportunity.

June 2010, 6, Game 15 of the Finals, the Lakers played at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

As the game came to an end, the entire Staples Center was completely silent, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle at the beginning of the game.

The bright red score on the court scorer stung every Lakers fan.

97:89, the Lakers are 8 points behind at home, and there is less than 1 minute left in the game.

The overall situation has been decided, the Lakers are unable to make a comeback and are about to lose the game.

Once this game is lost, the Lakers will lose to the Bulls 2:4 and lose to the Finals for the third consecutive year.

Although I was very reluctant, there was no other way.

In the last game, Wang Chong scored 63 points in a single game, as if the Lakers had lost all their energy and energy.

This game was at home, and the Lakers, who should have been full of momentum, played the game disorganized.

Kobe shot 24 of 6 from the field, and his shooting percentage was ridiculously low, only 25%. With the help of the home whistle, he made 15 of 11 free throws, and barely scored 23 points.

But Kobe is not the only one who shows stretched hips.

Pau Gasol, who has always been the mainstay of the Lakers inside, performed like a high-level diving player in this game. He made 16 of 6 shots and a shooting percentage of 37.5%. Although he scored a double-double of 19 points and 15 rebounds, This performance still seriously hindered the Lakers.

On the contrary, Artest performed well in this game, hitting 7 of 5 three-pointers and scoring 20 points. However, he was unable to recover due to the poor performance of the Lakers players who collectively stretched their hips.

For the Bulls, Wang Chong returned to normal performance after scoring 63 points, finishing with 35 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.

Curry, Billups and Gasol each scored in double figures and easily won the game.

All I can say is that morale is indeed a very mysterious thing.

In terms of strength, the Lakers are no worse than the Bulls. In a home game, based on the strength of both sides, the score should be around 64. The Lakers are more likely to win.

But in this game, there was obviously something wrong with the overall state of the Lakers. They didn't even show 70% of their true strength, and the loss was quite frustrating.

The only reason that can be attributed to the collective squatting in such a crucial game in the finals is Wang Chong's exaggerated personal scoring performance of 63 points in a single game in the last game.

It was obvious that Wang Chong had shattered the mentality of all members of the Lakers team, and the chain reaction had led to the emergence of this crotch pulling game.

This result was quite embarrassing for Garnett. Winning the third championship in his career was originally a happy thing, but he had already prepared for Sister Wang to return and save the team from danger in the tiebreaker. It must be a bit embarrassing for Garnett to win a championship without playing a single game.

When the league calculates its historical status in the future, Garnett's total number of championships will definitely be three championships, but this last championship has nothing to do with Garnett at all, and it is not useful as a role player. After all, even if he is a role player, he is good. Also played in the game.

But no matter what, the Bulls won the 2009-10 NBA championship and achieved three consecutive championships. It has become an indisputable fact that they have become a new generation dynasty team after the Lakers who won four consecutive championships.

During the finals, Wang Chong averaged 44.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game, shooting 57% from the field. In one game, he scored 63 points, breaking the single-game scoring record in the finals, making him an undisputed unanimous vote. Being elected as FMVP also achieved three consecutive FMVP achievements.

As a result, Wang Chong has accumulated another highlight in his honor book. Currently, his personal honors have accumulated to four championships, three MVPs, three FMVPs, and five scoring titles.

This honor alone is enough to rank among the top ten in league history, or even slightly ahead.

The most frightening thing is that Wang Chong, who has achieved such an honor, is only 25 years old. At the same time, James has so far failed to win anything and is still struggling for his first career championship. He even did not even deserve the honor of two consecutive regular season MVPs. They were all snatched away by Wang Chong.

Not to mention comparing with James, Wang Chong of this age group is completely blown away even if he is compared with Jordan.

Jordan only won the first championship of his career when he was 27 years old, and when he was 25 years old, he already had a regular season MVP and only three scoring champions. He was also far behind Wang Chong at the same time.

It is foreseeable that as long as Wang Chong can continue to maintain his current competitive state, surpassing Jordan is only a matter of time.

No one will doubt this. After all, the Bulls are now strong and strong. Garnett will return from injury next season. As long as they can maintain more than 70% of their pre-injury level, the Bulls' dominance in the league will not be weakened at all. (End of chapter)
